CUFF-BUTTON,

Specification of Letters lE'atent.

Patented Oct. 1, 1907.

Application filed October 1'7, 1906. Serial No. 339,413.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEF PEJOHAR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have in- I vented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff- Buttons, of which the following is a specification.

The several features of my invention and the various advantages resulting from their use will be apparent from the following description and claims.

In the accompanying drawings making a part of this v application, and in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts,Figure 1 shows the metal blank used in the formation of my improved cuff button. Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the product from this metal blankafter being properly operated upon according to my invention. Fig. 3 is an elevation of a blank adapted to make a slightly modified construction of my improved cuff button. Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view of this modified improved button made from the blank shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 illustrates a perspective view of the improved button located in the cuff.

I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail.

From a sheet of metal, by means of suitable dies, the blank A shown in Fig. 1 is cut. The metal used may be of any suitable kind, but preferably copper, amalgam, oxidized metal, brass, silver, or gold sheet are to be used, according to the effect to be produced by the cuff button, and according to the nature of the jewel or like ornaments held in the cuff bar. The blank A is now submitted to the operations of proper dies. By these operations, the blank is bent at the median line X, X, and the two halves thus formed are brought to- .gether face to face.

The parts B, B, of the blank will then form the bar B The parts 0, C, will form the part C The parts or members D, D, will then form the part D The parts or arms E, will then form the part or arm E The parts or members F, F, will then form the part F The parts or members G, G, being bent apart from one another and at right angles to the planes of their respective parts F, F, will form the bottom G of a place on which to locate the jewel or other ornament. The parts 11 being bent at right angles to the parts G, G, will form the side flanges or claws H as shown. The end parts .I, .T, being bent at an angle to the parts G, will constitute the end flanges or claws J At this stage of the description, I mention that the part G which lies next to the bar B and that part F which is close or near to the bar (bottom) portion G, are each depressed below the surface plane of those parts between which they are respectively located. In 4, the depressions in the part F are indicated by the character F The ofiice of these depressions is to respectively receive the adjacent edges of the cuff at the button holes.

In locating the button in the cuff, the bar B is slipped through one of the button holes of the cuff, and then through the other hole in the cuff. Then the bar B will be on the outside of the one cuff, and the bar G", will be on the outside of the other cuff. The edges of the one button hole of the cuff will be in the grooves of the part C and the edges of the other button hole of the cuff will be in the grooves of the part F namely: in the depressions F These grooves will prevent the button from slipping forward and back or up and down, in the adjacent part of this cuff. Thus the button will be conveniently held in position in the cuff.

In Fig. 3, the parts H are the same as the parts H of Fig. 1, except that the part II is continuous, instead of interrupted. Therefore this part H of Fig. 2 is the part II of Fig. 4. H is a long claw taking the place of the several claws H at one side.

The parts G and the parts J 2 and H (or H are bent as shown for a purpose, namely: they capacitate the bar shown on the right hand in Figs. 2 and 4 to receive and hold a jewel or series of jewels, or a cameo, or other ornament, the same being bedded in, or'cemented or glued in place.

The recess when formed as in Fig. 2, is adapted to re ceive a large wide ornament, as a stone, ruby, etc., or a cameo. The claws H are bent down over the stone and hold the same firmly.

When the recess is long and narrow as in Fig. 4, a series of jewels K, as pearls or the like may be set therein.

What I claim as new, and of my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. A blank for forming a culf button comprising a central part having lateral members D, members F angularly arranged in relation to the central part, arms E connecting said members F with the members I) and means carried by the members F supporting an ornamental part.

2. A blank for forming a cult button composed of a single piece of material and consisting of a central part B bent on itself, two members D one on each side of the central part, a pair of members F, G angularly arranged in relation to the central part on each side thereof, arms E connecting each pair F, G to the members D, each member of the pairs of members D, E and F lying against the othcr member of the same pair when the blank is bent on itself to form single pairs and the members G being adapted to be bent at right angles to the members F and claws carried by the members G and adapted to be bent to form holding means.
